Cannes is still going strong, with a splashy debut for one of the year’s most anticipated titles, more acquisitions and a press conference fit for a legendary filmmaker.
Cannes Falls in Love With “Anora”
Sean Baker, the filmmaker behind “Tangerine,” “The Florida Project” and “Red Rocket,” was rolling into the festival with one of the more anticipated films, not just of Cannes but of the entire year, with “Anora.” The drama, which stars Mikey Madison in the title role, is in competition for the Palme d’Or and, judging by the response to the movie, it has a good shot at taking home the prize.
